Thank you!
First I would like to thank wholeheartedaly all participants of
the gathering for the fun we (hopefully) all had, especially the
foreigners who had a long trip to Geneva.
I didn't organise this gathering alone, here are the persons
who helped me with the organisation: I particularly thank:
- Wayra for her all-days help and psychological support,
for the welcome and the transportation of participants,
for the cakes (cool, there are two left!).
- Rodolphe Francey for lodging, transporting participants,
transporting material and for occasional help in the
organisation.
- The Bois-Gentil chess club for hosting the tournament and
providing the playing material (digital clocks this
year!).
- Hung Fioramonti for lodging a last-minute participant.
- Daniel Denes for the advertisement to all players of
FICS.
- Erwin Reich for acting as tournament director.
This year I also got a financial help which made the budget of
the gathering almost balanced from my point of view, though
refunding the price of his plane ticket to Andre Nilsson. Here
are the donators of the gathering:
- Echecs-Club Bois-Gentil
- Wayra
- Daniel Denes
- Quentin Bogousslavsky
- Ralf Zoeller
- Rodolphe Francey
- Robert Huber
- Marcus Mueller
